Laugh It Off: Fitz introduces Senator Susan Ross, his nominee to be the next Vice President. The enormity of the situation catches up with the prospective veep. She has a mini-meltdown involving a snort-filled laugh. The White House calls in Leo Bergen to help. He advises more laughing. A short time later, Susan is making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Bedroom Brouhaha: Leo continues working his PR magic while enjoying his daily bickering with Abby. She’s digging it, too. Of course, all that excitement fades away when Leo pushes too hard. Susan quits. A short time after that, Abby fires Leo. This leads to a bedroom brouhaha.

A Demockery?: Abby turns to Olivia to save the day with Susan. It could be just what she needs. Olivia gives Susan a pep talk. The confirmation hearing is on. Susan aces all the questions thrown at her, but still may not have the votes they need. That’s because the senate hates Fitz after the war in West Angola. Olivia accuses the president of making a mockery of democracy.

Popcorn, Wine and Guns: Olivia invites Rose, the friend of her deceased neighbor, in for a cup of coffee. She listens to this woman’s worried tales of her missing BFF. Olivia has flashbacks of her old life. She later plops down the gun she’s been carrying around her apartment all lately to enjoy some wine and a super-sized bowl of popcorn.

Out of a Dark Place: David meets with a woman who claims her husband worked for B613. Her husband’s name is Diego Munoz, which also happens to be Huck’s real name. Huck claims that he doesn’t remember his B613 days. Then he surprises David with a compelling admission.

Getting the Bad Guys: Huck finally finds some peace along with a kiss from his wife. Elsewhere, Jake tells David how they need to shut down this problem. That’s not going to happen. David is moving forward. He’s going to get the bad guys.
